Some of My Best Work

If you know me, you know that I love a good deal.  I shop sales.  I use coupons.  I double those coupons.  I stack coupons on top of sales on top of rewards points.  Now, you won't see me on Extreme Couponing anytime soon with a shopping cart full of hot sauce (who wants 60 bottles of hot sauce anyway?) but you will see me scouring clearance bins, deal websites, and sale racks with the best of them.

For your viewing pleasure, my latest shopping victory:

That's right kids, six pairs of earrings for one dollar.  That has to be some kind of record...

Not only were they cheap, but they are pretty freaking fantastic, if I do say so myself.  I've been wearing them all the time!  The geometric designs are so on-trend and the variety of silver, yellow gold, and rose gold, means they go with EVERYTHING I own.  I'm obsessed.

Jealous? 

I've got good news and bad news.  

Bad news:  if you live in Rochester, I'm pretty sure both H&M locations have already closed.  Bummer.  

Good news: if you don't live in Rochester, you can get your cute little tushy over to your closest H&M and grab them before they sell out.  Now, you may not be able to score them for a dollar (pretty sure that was part of a going out of business sale) but even at full price (a whopping $5.95) these babies are a steal and something you will wear over and over again.

I'm wearing mine right now...

What about you?  Get any good deals lately?  Please share!

Love you like I love dollar earrings,

Ride 'em Cowboy

I really love my cowboy boots.  I bought them at Target a good five or six years ago and my love for them has grown exponentially over the years.  Right now I love wearing them with sundresses.  It's casual, comfortable, and easy!  (Not to mention they hide the fact that I am desperate need of a pedicure).  Bonus!

Here is how I made them work today:  
FYI:  I paid less than $100 for the entire outfit!

Target cowboy boots, DKNY tights, Old Navy dress, 

Bailey 44 cardigan via Anthropologie, Aldo Sunglasses, garage sale earrings, Lovebugs ring

My first post... how exciting!

Well, I've been delaying writing my first post because in true "Jenn fashion" I wanted to throw myself a launch party first.  In the spirit of Lady Gaga, I am a huge proponent of faking it until you make it, but I just can't hold out any longer.  I have to tell you about my latest shopping victory!

Went to Art and Whimsy Thursday night.  Had a fabulous time: shopped, snacked, sipped champagne, socialized and raised money for Empire State Lyric Theatre and women receiving breast cancer treatment at Pluta Cancer Center.  I was there all of 30 seconds before I bought a pair of shoes from Lilipad Creations.  Do I need more shoes?  Probably not.  Are five inch heels really conducive to playdates and shopping at Wegmans?  Again, probably not.  But how does any woman in her right mind say no to the LAST PAIR of these Poetic License Summer Fling T-Strap Sandles that just so happen to be her size?

Clearly it was destiny.  I tried to walk away...there are witnesses.  Alas I could not.  I had to buy them and I'm so glad I did.  Tried them on for the hubs when I got home and got a "wow" out of him; he was so impressed that he didn't even ask me how much I paid for them, which is good considering I wouldn't exactly label them "frugal."  However, they are surprisingly comfortable, on-trend and well worth the $129 price tag.  The mix of snakeskin, cork and patent leather is fun, attention-grabbing, and versatile (think dark hose and a dress or with a straight leg jean).  Needless to say:  I LOVE THEM!

For my frugal fashionistas appalled at my shoe purchase, do not be dismayed!  Later than evening I snagged an adorable pair of earrings from the StaceyKayCollection for $5.00!

These textured interlocking gold rings are light, understated, and will go with virtually everything:

All in all it was a great night out in Rochester: added a two lovely items to my wardrobe, supported local business, and it was all for a good cause!  Bravo!
